Foundations for Change
This video was produced by WA Department of Health, Aboriginal Health Policy Directorate, based on an original concept by Tim Muirhead and Danny Ford.
The video is designed to increase the community’s understanding of Aboriginal people’s experiences from colonisation to the present day. It encourages Western Australians to reflect and confront shared histories, and highlights goals of positive change and growth.
Domestic violence and sexual abuse are often called “women’s issues.” But in this bold, blunt talk, Jackson Katz points out that these are intrinsically men’s issues, and shows how these violent behaviours are tied to definitions of manhood. A clarion call for us all – women and men – to call out unacceptable behaviour and be leaders of change.
Change the story is Our Watch’s evidence-based framework to guide a coordinated and effective national approach to preventing violence against women.
As outlined in this video, the second edition provides an updated, expanded, evidence-based framework for Australia to continue and strengthen this shared national approach.
The Western Australian Mental Wellbeing Guide has been developed to update and strengthen the mental health promotion component of the Western Australian Mental Health Promotion, Mental Illness, Alcohol and Other Drug Prevention Plan 2018-2025. While best read in conjunction with the Prevention Plan, the Mental Wellbeing Guide can also be used as a standalone document that provides advice regarding evidence-based approaches to enhance mental wellbeing.
